*A/N: I don't own the concept of Dinotopia, I just play in it. All original
characters are mine, so please as before using them. Way OOC for Dinotopia.
Rated PG-13 for a possible occurrence of swearing, and some drug
references. I don't condone what's being done here. Any similarities

"Silence," Chapter 3
Road to Chandara Silver grunted as Anthony gave him the order to keep moving over the Flats.
"Maybe you should let Silver rest, 'Tony." Yvonne suggested. "He looks pretty tired."
"We've got to reach Chandara." Anthony shook his head.
"Don't be dumb! It's only one dinosaur! Let the poor beast have a rest!" Yvonne bristled slightly.
Not wanting a confrontation, Anthony obliged and let the saurian rest in the shade of a few scrubby trees.
"It'll be dark soon, anyway, 'Tony. We should set up camp." Marrietta said, gently hopping off the cart and grabbing a few things from the rations bag.
"What's for dinner tonight, Marr?" Chad asked, watching her move.
"Stew and fruit. If you want something different, make it yourself." Marrietta said defensively. She noticed Chad watching her and felt uneasy.
"Whatever." He shrugged and lay back in the grass, hands behind his head.
Soon, Marrietta had a dried fish and potato stew boiling in a black pot. Anthony had wandered off, but came stalking back when he caught wind of dinner.
"Damn these primitive people. Don't they know about good roads?" Anthony swore to himself under his breath. "Nothing better than these damn cart tracks which are hard to see. Damn it all!"
"Come on, 'Tony. Have some dinner and sleep. We'll probably reach Chandara tomorrow or so." Marrietta said soothingly, placing her hands on Anthony's shoulders. He sighed and took a small wooden bowl filled with the stew, ate it slowly, chewed on a piece of bread and fell asleep.
Yvonne wandered off into the grasses with Chad after the meal and Marrietta was left to clean up.
